I am often asked the question, how can I immediately find a
service that offers cheap package shipping international. I think an
even better question might be: where can I find a service that offers the best
value for my shipping dollar? Cheap can and often times denote inferior or
"just barely good enough" quality. My initial response it to tell
them that the USPS Priority service is going to do the trick. However, I usually
follow up with a warning that you may get what you pay for when using that
service. It is true that millions of packages are shipped this way every year
and make it to their destinations too. However, what the USPS service does not
tell you is what their delivery % is. They are mum about just how many packages
NEVER make it to its intended destination. Why? most likely they don't know for
sure as many people don't care to tell them which is surprising. Not that the
USPS can do anything about it, in fact once it leave U.S. soil, there is no
tracking with the USPS Priority service at all.
What happens is that your packages are shipped to each
respective country and handed off to the cheapest 3rd party contractor within
that country. Security of your package is easily breached and it is handled by
many different contractors and agencies within each individual country. The
final delivery is also performed by the cheapest costing subcontractor or
possibly within that country's postal system. The package is merely left at the
door of the recipient. There are lots of times that packages go missing at any
given point along the way or even after it is left on the porch or by the door
of the recipient.
This is why we heavily recommend using DHL Express. From
pickup all the way to delivery, your packages are 100% safe as it stays within
the DHL system. All packages are easily tracked and traced and have a signature
upon delivery requirement so you know exactly when it was delivered and by
whom.
